Department of Information and Communication Technologies
Bachelor Student

I am a Biomedical Engineering bachelor student at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF). Following my research on integrate-and-fire neural networks at Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer during my baccalaureate project, I developed a keen interest in the enigmas surrounding consciousness and the brain's non-linear functioning. Currently, I am focusing on digital twins and neural mass models, and my interest in these fields has recently led me to Neuroelectrics Barcelona and the NTSA group. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ralph Andrzejak and Dr. Giulio Ruffini, I am conducting my bachelor's thesis, aiming to unveil the neurobiological mechanisms of psychedelics through biophysical whole-brain modeling and characterization of brain dynamics. During this time, I expect to contribute to the advancement of research on digital twins in the context of mental health.
